Depression is a debilitating mental illness with clear developmental patterns from childhood through late adolescence. Here, we present data the Gene Environment Mood (GEM) study, which used an accelerated longitudinal cohort design youth (N = 665) starting in 3rd, 6th, and 9th grades, caretaker, who were recruited general community, then assessed repeatedly semistructured diagnostic interviews every 6 months over 3 years (7 waves of data) to establish predict trajectories depression age 8...
OBJECTIVE: The goal was to assess the rate and behavioral methods of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in a community sample youth examine effects age sex. METHODS: Youth third, sixth, ninth grades (ages 7–16) at schools were invited participate laboratory study. A total 665 (of 1108 contacted; 60% participation rate) interviewed about NSSI over their lifetime via Self-Injurious Thoughts Behaviors Interview. RESULTS: Overall, 53 (8.0%) reported engaging NSSI; 9.0% girls 6.7% boys engagement;...
Dimensional models of psychopathology that posit a general factor (i.e., p factor), in addition to specific internalizing and externalizing factors, have recently gained prominence. However, the stability these factors specificity with which they are related one another over time (e.g., homotypic or heterotypic continuity) not been investigated. The current study addressed questions. We estimated bifactor models, p, internalizing-specific, externalizing-specific youth caretaker reports...
Mental health concerns increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, but previous studies have not examined depression screening in pediatric primary care. We aimed to describe changes screening, depressive symptoms, and suicide risk among adolescents pandemic.In a repeat cross-sectional analysis of electronic record data from large care network, we compared percentage visits where aged 12 21 were screened for depression, positive or between June December (prepandemic) 2020...
This study evaluated the efficacy of 2 programs for preventing depressive symptoms in adolescents. Participants were 380 high school students randomly assigned to a cognitive-behavioral program (CB), an interpersonal psychotherapy-adolescent skills training (IPT-AST), or no-intervention control. The interventions involved eight 90-min weekly sessions run small groups during wellness classes. At postintervention, both CB and IPT-AST reported significantly lower levels than did those group,...
Indicated interventions for adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms may help decrease rates of depression. The current study reports on the efficacy Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST), a group indicated preventive intervention.Forty-one depression were randomized to receive either IPT-AST or school counseling (SC) as delivered by guidance counselors and social workers. Adolescents in two intervention conditions compared symptoms, overall functioning,...
During the transition to adolescence, several developmental trends converge increase importance of peer relationships, likelihood peer-related stressors, and experience depressive symptoms. Simultaneously, there are significant changes in parent-child relationships. The current study sought evaluate whether positive relationship quality with parents continued serve a protective effect by buffering between stressful life events, especially stress, increases symptoms throughout adolescence....
Positive affect has been implicated in the phenomenological experience of various psychiatric disorders, vulnerability to develop psychopathology and overall socio-emotional functioning. However, developmental influences that may contribute positive have understudied. Here, we studied youths' 5-HTTLPR genotype rearing environment (degree supportive parenting) investigate differential susceptibility hypothesis (DSH) youth carrying short alleles would be more influenced responsive unsupportive...
Many longitudinal studies have investigated whether self-esteem predicts depressive symptoms (vulnerability model) or the other way around (scar in adolescents. The most common method of analysis has been Cross-lagged Panel Model (CLPM). CLPM does not separate between-person effects from within-person effects, making it unclear results previous actually reflect they differences between people. We associations and at level, using Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Models (RI-CLPM). To get an...
Evidence suggests that early pubertal timing may operate as a transdiagnostic risk factor (i.e., shared across syndromes of psychopathology) for both genders. The current study examined associations between and dimensional psychopathology, structured different levels three organizational models: 1) DSM-based syndrome model, 2) traditional model internalizing externalizing factors, 3) bifactor (p-factor) which includes general psychopathology well internalizing- externalizing- specific...
Loneliness is a major public health problem and an estimated 17% of adults aged 18-70 in the USA reported being lonely. We sought to characterise (online) lives people who mention words 'lonely' or 'alone' their Twitter timeline correlate posts with predictors mental health.From approximately 400 million tweets collected from Pennsylvania, USA, between 2012 2016, we identified users whose contained compared them control group matched by age, gender period posting. Using natural-language...
Research increasingly suggests that low emotional awareness may be associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety among children adolescents. However, because most studies have been cross-sectional, it has remained unclear whether predicts subsequent internalizing symptoms. The current study used longitudinal data to examine the role as a transdiagnostic predictor anxiety. Participants were 204 youth (86 boys 118 girls) ages 7–16 who completed self-report measures awareness, depressive...
Temperament is associated with important outcomes in adolescence, including academic and interpersonal functioning psychopathology. Rothbart's temperament model among the most well-studied supported approaches to adolescent temperament, contains 3 main components: positive emotionality (PE), negative (NE), effortful control (EC). However, latent factor structure of measure for adolescents, Early Adolescent Questionnaire Revised (EATQ-R; Ellis & Rothbart, 2001) has not been definitively...
This study examines whether perceived parent support, peer and the interaction between them predict depression symptoms diagnosis 2 years later in a community sample of 389 adolescents. Controlling for Time 1 depression, support anticipated were not independently related to either linear or logistic regression analyses. However, there was significant two variables, suggesting that moderates relationship diagnosis. Anticipated is protective among adolescents with high parental but may act as...

Methods: Fifty-seven adolescents with elevated depression symptoms were randomized to receive Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) or school counseling (SC). Hierarchical linear modeling examined differences in rates change and overall functioning analysis covariance mean between groups. Rates diagnoses 18-month follow-up period compared.

Abstract Objective Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is effective at reducing binge episodes and inducing weight stabilization in obese adults with eating disorder. Method We piloted the administration of IPT to girls at‐risk for excess gain (BMI 75 th –97 percentile; IPT‐WG) without loss control (LOC) eating. Thirty‐eight (12–17 years) were randomized IPT‐WG or a standard‐of‐care health education group. Results All 38 completed programs all follow‐up visits through 6 months. Thirty‐five...
Psychopathology is posited to be transdiagnostically linked chronic stress. Yet efforts understand the specificity and directionality of these links have been sparse, ubiquitous comorbidity psychopathology has made seemingly nonspecific between psychological disorders stress difficult interpret. The current study used a latent dimensional bifactor model account for multiwave prospective design disentangle temporal associations longitudinally during critical adolescent period risk reactivity....
